Baby Girl

Baby girl...I need you to know, that daddy will never leave again.
     I've loved you since you were an embryo, and I'm hoping we can now be friends.

Baby girl...I want you to feel comfortable with me, and talk to me about things.
     Things don't always fall into place so perfectly, but you're the melody playing on my 
heartstrings!

Baby girl...People are not perfect, even daddies make mistakes;
     But my love for you is 100% correct, and being without you has caused so much 
heartache!

Baby girl...I'm so dang proud to be your father, and I want to be a figure you look up to.
     Jasmine if I didn't care, this poem I wouldn't bother, and I'll gladly lay down my life for 
you!

Baby girl...I'll be behind you through it all, and you can always rely on me.
     If you stumble, I'll catch you before you fall, and I'll try to be the best daddy!

Baby girl...Please smile for me and just know that although I secretly wanted a boy;
     You're all I could ask for in a family, and you princess, are my pride and joy!!


Dedicated to my oldest daughter, "Jasmine Ann Anderson"
